Tia and I will be missing one of the few "named" actors we admire. Charlton Heston. He was known for starring in such iconic films including Ben-Hur and The Omega Man. A Hollywood legend, today's audience may not recognize his name at first glance, but a lot sure do wish to acquire his powers in parting the seas-who can ever forget The Ten Commandments?
Despite being a big fan of cult films and teen flicks, I like Charlton Heston. He stood smart, sturdy and handsome. And he overcame the challenges of old age with grace. He didn't smoke, nor did he have other vices, and most of all, he faced success with his feet on the ground.
I remember watching The Ten Commandments some Maundy Thursday several years back. I liked the dialogues between him and Ramses, portrayed by another favorite actor of mine, skinhead Yul Brynner. But Ramses had left a long time ago.
And now it's Moses.
You may not know us, but Tia and I will miss you.
